Error when trying to install spacy-3.0.6.tar.gz

[YamiZee]

I'm trying to set this up according to this guide. No matter what python version I use or if it's with conda or the standard venv, the installation always fails when trying to install spacy-3.0.6.tar.gz.

Many of the errors complain: Variables cannot be declared with 'cpdef'. Use 'cdef' instead.

And at the end:

× Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully.
│ exit code: 1
╰─> See above for output.

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

I also find it strange that the installer tries to install every version of spacy, starting with spacy-3.7.2 and going down all the way to spacy-3.0.6 where it bugs out.

I was having the same issue, but I found a solution here. https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/issues/13449#issuecomment-2100827973

Thanks, that worked! Just to make it explicitly clear to anyone else following the guide, run: pip install fastapi==0.110 xtts-api-server pydub

Edit: reopened this because a solution that's found inside the issues page isn't really solved until guides are updated or spacy itself is fixed

Hi! We've now released spaCy 3.7.5 which should hopefully fix the underlying version conflict 🤞.
